National Republican., 1887-07-16

The base ball enthusiast with partial.
ity for the home club ran the gamut Of
all the peculiar emotions incident to the
game yesterday, with most fitting finale,
First was experienced complacency when
the city's representatives made ak runs
without allowing the Smoky City team
TO tally. This was succeeded by nervous
spell when the men from the natural gas
region sent five across the plate, three
Of the runs being earned. Then followed
disgust, occaAioned by errors Of the home
team, and until the ninth inning there as
but q listless interest In the result.
At the opening Of the ninth, when Daily
went to the bat, the spectators looked
askance at each other-doubtful, yet hope
ful. Hope predomlnated, however, when
the ex-Philadelphian found soft place IN
ahitberto unimpregnable infeld and sent
hot one between third and short for q hit.
He lid not tarry at fret, for O'Brien sent
anotherto the same place, on the fielding Of
which Daily went to third and O'Brien to
second. There was wistful silence as
Farrell strobe TO the plate. Among the oc-
cupants Of the grand stand naught was
heard save nervous sighs from the ladies'
Then came yell Of delight, as the sturdy
captain lit ON the ball for long hit to left,
which Beecher made gallant but unsuc.
eessful effort to capture, and on which
Daily and 0'Brien scored-tieing the game.
Then followed hoarsely jubilant roar as
Myers hit to right for base, sending Far
rell home with the winning run, as the late
Association boys were easily retired In the
ninth by the Wizard.
1t was by far the most exciting and inter
esting game played on the home grounds,
and won as veterans win them.
AT the start the Statesmen commenced to
bat Galvin's speedy delivery, and kept 1t up
during the entire game with more or less
effect. Shaw was also punished freely,
such an extent as "Gentle Jeems."
Phillips's boys fielded In much better style
than did the Senators, but what few error
they did make were Of the costly kind, and
resulted In runs for the home club.
The Washingtons opened up In good
shape and scored two earned runs on
Hines's base hit, Daily's three-bagger, and
O'Brien's sacrifice hit to center field. The
visitors were whitewashed In their half as
was also the case with both teams in the
second inning. In the third the Senators
again lit on to Galvin's curves, and batted
out four runs on three single base hits and
two double baggers. This gave the local
lads lead Of to 0, and home partisans
we're jubilant In consequence. The Smoky
City boys did not appear to be dismayed,
however, and in their half Of the third
jumped on to shaw's down.shoots, curves,
and swiftly-thrown balls to such an extent
that they scored five runs on four singles, q
two.base hit, and three fielding errors
While the Washingtons drew blank in
their half Of the fourth inning, the Pitts
burgers were more fortunate, and by errors
on the part of Farrell Donnelly, and Daily
coupled with two clean base hits, made
three more runs.
Just at this point matters began to as
sumo somber aspect, which became more
pronounced as In the next inning the visit
ors again scored run on Fred. Carroll's
three. base hit and passed ball. This
put the score to in the visitors favor,
and II was dollars to cents that 1t was 9
winning lead. Such, however, was not the
case, as after events proved, and by good
safe hitting the Senators managed to CREEP
out Of very tight place. They started tc
catch up to their opponents in the sixth
passed ball, and Carroll's two baser they
made run. Thus the score remained NJ
| to the ninth, and 1t looked blue, very
blue. In that inning Daily was the
6rst striker, and, thanks to Kuehne'
tumble, he reached first, ther
O'Brien sent beauty over second, an(
Daily went to third on the hit. Next CANT

succeeded In placing the sheepskin and sent
1t sailing down to the clubhouse for three
bases, bringing Daily and o'Brien home.
This tied the score, and long and prolonged
was the applause that followed. Even the

ent, did not fail to give vent to their en-
thusiasm, and one blushing young miss was
heard to exclaim, "Really, Mr.. Farrell is jus
too sweet for anything" This was not the
